Another use case, is what I'm trying to do:
I want to provide a user a location to copy/cut/paste text into.
Textboxes / textareas are perfect for this, as they provide access to
the clipboard and already have the implementation for this. Regular
html doesn't have access to the clipboard. I would also like to be
able to highlight key text, phrases, etc when they paste it in, but
textboxes and textareas, as far as I can tell won't let me do that
very easily (i.e. set start and stop highlighting points, link
rendering, image rendering). I played around with the RTF textarea
for a bit, but it didn't really solve all my problems either. Instead
I was able to use an HTML panel, and context menu from GWT-Ext for my
case, but not perfectly what I wanted, because of lack of access to
the clipboard.
